Overview

The TXS0101DBVR is a single-bit bidirectional voltage level translator designed for interfacing components operating at different logic levels. It features auto-direction sensing, which eliminates the need for a dedicated direction-control signal from the host processor. The device supports data rates up to 24Mbps and is compatible with both open-drain and push-pull CMOS logic outputs.

Why Choose This Part

The auto-direction sensing architecture reduces pin count and simplifies software by removing the need for a DIR control pin. It features Vcc isolation, ensuring that if either Vcc input is at ground, all I/O pins enter a high-impedance state to prevent backflow current. The SOT-23-6 package provides a compact footprint for space-constrained mobile and handheld designs.

Applications

I2C Level Shifting
Translating SDA and SCL lines between 1.8V low-voltage microcontrollers and 5V peripherals in open-drain configurations.
SD Card Interfacing
Adjusting signal levels for SD card clock and data lines between 3.3V and lower voltage application processors.
UART Communication
Bridging TX/RX serial lines between legacy 5V sensors and modern 1.8V or 2.5V embedded systems.
GPIO Voltage Adaptation
Providing a simple interface for single-line status signals or interrupts between mismatched power domains.

Getting Started

Ensure that VCCA is always less than or equal to VCCB, with VCCA ranging from 1.65V to 3.6V and VCCB from 2.3V to 5.5V. When using for I2C, keep the trace capacitance low to maintain signal integrity at higher data rates as the device uses internal pull-up resistors. For prototyping, this SOT-23-6 component can be used on a standard breakout board with 0.1-inch headers.
